Abstract

This IDC study represents a vendor assessment of the current worldwide IoT platforms market through the IDC MarketScape model. This research is a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the characteristics that explain a vendor's success in the marketplace and help anticipate its ascendancy. This IDC MarketScape covers 12 software vendors participating in the worldwide IoT platforms market. This evaluation is based on a comprehensive set of parameters expected to be most conducive to success in the short term and long term.

"As a core technology product responsible for collecting IoT data and feeding that data into analytical models and services, IoT platforms play a critical role in the IoT ecosystem," said Stacy Crook, research director within IDC's Internet of Things Ecosystem and Trends research practice. "Organizations around the world must now decide which IoT platform offers the best alignment with their digital transformation goals."
